Abstract

• Malignant cardiac tumors are extremely rare. • 25% of primary cardiac tumors are malignant. • Most malignant cardiac tumors are metastatic (from breast, lung, melanoma, soft tissue sarcoma, etc.). • Sarcoma, lymphoma, and malignant pericardial mesothelioma are three main primary malignant cardiac tumors. • Usual imaging studies consist of TTE, CMR, and contrast TTE that are helpful noninvasive tools to diagnose suspicious cardiac masses. • Generally, despite multimodal treatment strategies, prognosis of malignant cardiac tumors is poor. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
